Team seeks funding to place car in 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
CHARLOTTE, NC (January 12, 2012) – Inspired by recent political sentiment towards the nation of Israel, two North Carolina-based entrepreneurs are hoping to raise awareness of the importance of America supporting its Middle Eastern ally on auto racing’s grandest stage.
America Israel Racing (AIR) hopes to place a car in the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup field, starting at the “Great American Race”, the Daytona 500, on February 26 at Daytona International Speedway in Florida. With extensive knowledge in NASCAR, AIR feels there is no better place to share the message that America should support Israel than in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and with 2012 being a Presidential election year, the AIR team feel this is the perfect year to do so.
“This is a critical time in our nation’s history as it pertains to our relationship with Israel,” said a member of the AIR team. “As the only true democracy in the Middle East, we feel it is critical that the United States reaffirms its commitment to stand beside Israel. By fielding a car in the most-watched race of the year, we hope to show Israel just how many Americans feel the same way.”
The AIR team recently established a sponsorship program and is currently seeking corporate sponsors as well as accepting donations on its website, AmericaIsraelRacing.com. America Israel Racing hopes all like-minded individuals and groups will help them place a car in the Sprint Cup Series for the 2012 season to spread the message that America stands with Israel.
“If enough people make a stand, the world will take notice,” said a member of the AIR team.
